Description
The 2018 Domaine Heresztyn-Mazzini Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, Les Goulots is crafted with sustainable practices, using 50-55% whole bunch fermentation and aging for 16-18 months in oak barrels (30% new). Hand-harvested from 50-year-old vines, it offers a clear, expressive Pinot Noir with depth and complexity. The estate, founded in 1932, is now run by the Heresztyn family, with holdings in Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey St-Denis Premier Crus.
Reviews
Vinous 91
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Goulots 1er Cru has a tightly-wound nose with crunchy cranberry and redcurrant fruit, nice freshness here with a light oyster shell tincture. The palate is medium-bodied with a grainy-textured opening, red fruit with a liberal dash of black pepper, leading to quite a feisty, attractive finish, though this appears to ebb away after 5-10 minutes in the glass. Give this another year in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting. [Neal Martin, 22/11/2022]

Daniel Grigg NR
A deep ruby in colour. Intense cassis and raspberry scents with a touch of pepper. On the palate, dense and refined with further red-fruit notes. An elegant and harmonious wine with well-balanced tannins and a persistent finish. Drink with roast duck and pomegranates in a walnut sauce, quail casserole or noisettes d’agneau chasseur with wild mushrooms and shallots. [Daniel Grigg, 01/03/2022]
